NNPA News Service and Trice Edney News Wire Establish Partnership to Empower the Black Press
WASHINGTON, DC) - Approaching
the 190th anniversary of the 1827
founding of the Black Press, the News
Wire Service of the National Newspaper
Publishers Association (NNPA), a national
trade association of more than 211 Blackowned
newspapers, has become the
chief subscriber of the 6-year-old Trice
Edney News Wire in a partnership that
aims to strengthen and empower Black
newspapers across the country.
“Toward the fulfillment of the
strategic objective of significantly
increasing the original content distributed
by the NNPA News Wire Service for use
by our member publishers across the
nation, we are pleased to align and subscribe to the Trice
Edney News Wire ,” said NNPA President/CEO Benjamin
F. Chavis, Jr. “This arrangement will provide a timely
additional benefit to the NNPA,” Chavis emphasized.
The groundbreaking arrangement is viewed as an
important strategic move to fortify the Black Press of
America that continues its historic and contemporary
leadership for freedom, justice and equality in the United
States and throughout the world.
“I am honored that the leadership of NNPA, known
as the Black Press of America, has decided to subscribe to
the Trice Edney News Wire on behalf of all of its member
newspapers,” said Hazel Trice Edney, an award-winning
30-year veteran of the Black Press, founder of the Trice
Edney News Wire and former Washington Correspondent
and editor-in-chief of the NNPA News Service. “Despite
significant gains in our quest for racial justice in America,
the vestiges of racism and White supremacy still
ravage every spectrum of our communities. We
at the Trice Edney News Wire look forward to
serving NNPA under our mantra - ‘provocative,
empowering, unapologetically Black’ - by adding
to their already powerful daily and weekly
offerings of news and commentary.”
“Hazel Trice Edney is not a stranger to
the NNPA and we welcome once again the
opportunity to work with her in a joint venture
that will enhance content offerings for NNPA
publishers and editors,” said NNPA Chair Denise
Rolark Barnes.
Through the subscribership, all NNPA
member newspapers will have a full one-year
access to the Trice Edney News Wire, which
is broken down in seven categories - lead stories,
columns, education, Black health, business/economics,
international, and lifestyles/entertainment. Some Black
columnists write for both NNPA and Trice Edney.
But the subscribership also gives access to exclusive
Trice Edney columnists, including activist Dr. E. Faye
Williams; political scientist Dr. Wilmer Leon; journalist
A. Peter Bailey; and health columnist Glenn Ellis.
